dont let the dirt fool ya,its been sitting under a tree for 5 years its just dirt,the boat is actually in good condition ,just needs a good cleaning..the hatch is there and in great conditon too.its just flipped up..its gonna take a little time but itll be nice.lol

After a good hull, transom and stringers inspection. I would clean it and start with the motor. Have you run it yet?

[hotlude91]

well so far the engine cranks ,all electric works,but the motor is shot ,i was gonna repower anyways,looks like the drive is in good shape has all new clean hardware in it,so it looks like it was recently serviced..the transome looks like it was backed into,so gonna have to rebuild that..the stringer look great but i havent tested yet,thats next..any hints on how to go about checking all this stuff or how to rebuild the transome..any help would be useful,i am on this site hours a day learning so much,its a lot of fun and im hooked.lol

was gonna repower anyways

There is your answer. Yank the engine. Then inspect. You can use a hammer to tap the stringers and transom. You should hear a sharp sound not a thud which would indicate water intrusion. What kind of damage does the transom have?
Any pics.

i will try to get some pics of the transom today..its not overly bad if u scroll up to my pics u can see that they covered the push in woth some plexiglass..but so far for looking at the stringers they look like they are in sweet condition..ill tap them later on this week ..I was wondering how hard the transom would be to repair,would it just be some glass,,if so i could do it then..
